History of the Chocolate Chip Cookie

The chocolate chip cookie has long been a favorite among people throughout the world. Though it may seem like it has been around forever, it wasn’t actually created until the 1930s.

Here’s the story that is believed to describe how the chocolate cookie came about: Ruth Graves Wakerfield was baking cookies for her guests at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. She originally intended to make chocolate cookies, but when she her supply of baker’s chocolate ran out, she decided to add semi-sweet chocolate morsels to the batch. The chocolate did not melt into the cookies, as she intended, and hence the first chocolate chip cookies were made.

Employee satisfaction is one of the top priorities of any employer. By offering your employees snacks that are both yummy and offer health benefits, you can improve their satisfaction. The addition of a vending machine that offers snacks, which contain chocolate chips is a sure-fire way to boost morale. The chocolate chip cookie is an excellent option for a vending machine snack.
